If any brokerage company can take credit for contributing to the scintillating 21st century profile of entertainment industry presence in Hollywood, Ramsey-Shilling can.

The firm’s activity in Old Hollywood started in the 1950s when it was mainly a residential brokerage firm. With the contacts the firm made within the local business community and government circles, Ramsey-Shilling became the area’s leading commercial brokerage firm—and remains so today.
 
As Old Hollywood lost its luster in the mid-1980s, Ramsey-Shilling helped lay the groundwork for a New Hollywood through its vigorous participation in the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce.  Ramsey-Shilling Principal John Tronson served as Chamber president in 2001-2002, and on the Board of Directors from 1997-2003.  His brother Steven Tronson has followed as a Director from 2004 to the present. 

Ramsey-Shilling played a vital role in the push for gentrification and business development and helped to attract many of the current developers who have been responsible for the magical transformation of Hollywood Boulevard into an area with multi-million dollar condominiums and increasingly upscale retail outlets.

In the office building sector of Hollywood’s entertainment industry, Ramsey-Shilling was the brokerage firm that found and brought to Hollywood the New York-based firm Argent Ventures – the firm that bought the Capitol Records Building, keeping the famed music company in Hollywood.   Additionally, Ramsey-Shilling represented the buyer, CommonFund in the acquisition of the World Famous Palladium.  Ramsey-Shilling has also played a major role in attracting many other leading companies to various Hollywood office buildings, and is far and away the dominant brokerage in representing Hollywood landlords.

Furthermore, Ramsey-Shilling has brokered many of the significant nightlife deals in Hollywood over the last decade and guided the famed Katsuya night club and restaurant into the lobby space of the Broadway Hollywood Lofts.
